Islamic body in Morocco slams Israel’s racist policies
Council calls on global community to fulfill its duty to stop Israeli policies towards Palestinians, Muslim holy sites
An Islamic body in Morocco called on the international community Thursday to fulfill its responsibility to stop Israel’s oppressive and racist policies towards Palestinians and Muslim holy places.
In a statement, the Council on Aiding the Issues of the Ummah condemned Israel’s policies and criticized countries participating in the Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Security in the Middle East in Warsaw on Feb. 13-14 for normalizing relations with Israel.
The council, which is affiliated with the Al-Adl Wal-Ihsane (Justice and Benevolence) Islamic movement, also called for a "Friday of anger" in support of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestinians in Jerusalem.
On Monday, the Israeli authorities sealed the Al-Rahma gate on the east side of the mosque, preventing hundreds of Muslim worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa, and detained several Palestinians inside the mosque complex.
The following day, they reportedly reopened the gate temporarily.
